If at any time your child will not be transported to school by Kids ‘R’ Kids or will not be picked up by Kids ‘R’ Kids from public school at the end of the school day, you must notify Kids ‘R’ Kids in advance. Kids ‘R’ Kids will inform you of the time by which you must make this notification.

The safety of the children is our first concern in the event of an emergency such as severe weather, fire, physical damage to the building—or any other situation that poses a threat.

Our school is equipped with a fire alarm sprinkler system and fire extinguishers. Fire and severe weather drills are conducted every 30 days.

If there is an emergency and it becomes necessary to close the school, parents will be notified to arrange for early pick-up.

Parents will also be instructed by the school, using local TV and/or social media channels to provide closing information, if there is inclement weather and it is determined that the school will not open.

If an emergency develops and it is determined that the building or premises is unsafe, your child(ren) will be transported to First Baptist Church of Woodstock, 11905 Hwy 92, Woodstock, GA 30188. Families will be notified of the situation and you will be required to pick up your child(ren) as soon as possible.

At Kids ‘R’ Kids, we use a method called “redirection” to guide your child(ren) toward appropriate behavior. If a child is engaged in behavior not conducive to a safe and happy learning environment, the teacher will “redirect” the child toward appropriate behavior. The use of physical punishment and harsh language is prohibited.

The relationship between families and school staff is vital to the success of a child’s early learning experience. We believe building a teacher-parent partnership, using open communication, will benefit the child in making a positive connection between school and home.

Families can assist and help ensure a great experience by doing the following:

• Signing children in and out at the front desk and then escorting them to their designated class
• Having all forms completed before the child’s first day of school
• Updating forms as needed when changes occur (i.e. new phone number, address, etc.)
• Keeping staff informed of special needs or changes that might affect the child’s behavior
• Notifying the school if child is ill
• Not bringing an ill child to the school
• Notifying the school if child will be absent
• Notifying the school if you will be later than usual picking up
• Providing a change of clothes marked with child’s first and last name. (School is not responsible for lost clothing)
• Dressing child properly for the weather and play
• Not allowing child to bring toys or outside food
• Participating in the school’s special activities
• Attending scheduled parent meetings and conferences
• Asking questions and addressing concerns as they arise
